The whole mobile VoIP front has been relatively quiet so far in 2008 and we would never have guessed that Nokia would be the company to break the silence. But with what? The Nokia 6300i, that’s what, which will offer a fully integrated VoIP client (for making VoIP calls) straight out of the box.
The device will be a combined GSM and wi-fi mobile phone with the ability to store up to two thousand VoIP, home, and mobile numbers which will be listed with WLAN and VoIP symbols to indicate the connection status and type of phone call.
Obviously we are keen to get some more details on this little devil, especially with regards to its ability to communicate with PC based VoIP clients like Skype and GoogleTalk. Even if the functionality is slightly gimped in this respect however, it is certainly a progressive choice of software for Nokia to include in a new device (though our guess is that Nokia will try to keep handsets of this type quite niche for the time being). The 6300i is releasing soon so stay tuned for more details when we have them.
